“WEIGHING” a TARPON & How NOT to Land a Tarpon! Inshore Fishing – Trinidad Caribbean

This is the first episode of a new series I am hoping to start – Fishing Skool.

In this series, I hope to share a little bit of the knowledge I have gained over the last few years of fishing.

This first episode is about using an Online Tarpon Weight Calculator to get an estimate of the weight of your tarpon. Tarpons should not be taken out of the water once over 40 inches, so getting a reliable estimate of the weight has always been a challenge. Now this tool can help you out.

The 2nd part of the video, shows how NOT to land a Tarpon. Ideally all recreational fishermen should practice Catch and Release when it comes to Tarpon. To get a healthy release, you should ensure a smooth landing. To do this, you have to “play” the fish a bit and time the landing. There are a couple other things to do, which I will touch on in other videos.

Also, much more to come on knots, rigs, baits, moon phases and other fishing related topics.

Caught my first ever Sheepshead today. Very happy camper!!! My next video I am going to try to fish from a Salt water pond. We will see how that goes in the morning. Stay tuned! Follow Me On IG, FB, Twitter: Instagram: @woodysreeltimefishing https://www.instag
